Strawberry Lime Mimosa Recipe!

Hey, it's Mixology with Mika, and today we are making this delicious mimosa that will be perfect for Valentine's Day. We're gonna start with some fresh strawberries, a lime, and of course, champagne. I like to roll my limes. This is how you get the most juice out of them, or you can pop this in the microwave for about 30 seconds and it makes all the juices come. All right, so what you're gonna do is you're gonna take our strawberries, wash your strawberries, cut the end off. You get these nice, beautiful, delicious strawberries. I like to go for the darkest strawberry because they say the darker the berry, the sweeter the juice, and that is, in real life, the truth. You're gonna take a couple of strawberries, and all we're gonna do is we are going to smash the strawberries. Now, I have this very fancy tool because I'm a bartender, and this is a muddler, and what it does is it has these ridges, and you just go in and you smash the strawberries. If you don't have a muddler, if you don't, it's okay. All you're gonna use is a spoon. It's just a fancy spoon. So you're gonna go in there with your spoon, and you're just gonna smash these strawberries because we are going to extract the juice, but we still want the texture of the strawberry, right? So once they're all nice and muddled, we're going to take the lime. I'm only gonna use half of this, and guess what we're gonna do? Squeeze the lime juice in the strawberries. There is something about the combination of lime and strawberries, it just goes perfectly together. Take this mixture, stir it up, and here comes the fun part. All we're going to do is add this mixture to a glass, top it with champagne, voila! You have your mimosa. I am going to make his and hers. I'm not using champagne flutes for this cocktail. You can. I like to put them in different glasses. I say his and hers. You can serve them both in here. You can serve them in champagne flutes. Do what you want to. Now, you see this lime that we had, okay? We're gonna use this to rim our glass. We take the lime, the one that we already squeezed, and we're gonna go around the rim of your glass, okay? You're gonna take some sugar, and just roll the sugar, roll the glass in the sugar. And you have this beautifully rimmed glass, yes! Okay, let's build this cocktail, okay? We're gonna fill, not fill, we're gonna put some of that delicious puree that we just made in the glass. Then all you're gonna do, let's pop the champagne. Now, when I pop champagne, I just twist, and I twist it all the way up, and I take it. That's how you pop champagne like a pro, okay? And we're going to fill, ooh, this is the fun part! The glass with the champagne! And then let's garnish these. Every drink needs a garnish. I'm gonna garnish with a strawberry. You're just gonna take your strawberry, and you're just gonna cut a little slit, not down the middle, but a little bit off to the side. And you're going to stick it on there, ooh-hoo! And then for the mill, we're gonna take our line, and we're gonna cut a pinwheel. Let me show you. Just slice, nice little circle, make sure it's thick enough and not flimsy, okay? And we're just gonna cut just a little bit, stick that on the side. And there we have it. His and hers Strawberry Lime Mimosas, perfect for Valentine's Day. Cheers!
